Don't be put off by reviews that this used to be a private hospital.
Yes, you can tell that it wasn't built as a motel but the owners have added quirky little things everywhere to make it fun.
Most importantly, it is very clean and the staff are so friendly AND your pets are allowed too, which is hard to find. And all that at a very reasonable price in a lovely neighbourhood.
For us it was an ideal stop over on our travels further north and we will definitely book again!

Great to stay with your pets

This an ex elderly care home which we didn’t know prior to finding our room. 
Arriving late, as travelling from Wellington we found our details & key as arranged but the letter enclosed didn’t have correct information which wasn’t helpful. 
No information in our room about the facilities, no milk in the fridge, a tv that was hopeless, 2 standard single beds in a single size room, wardrobe without any hangers, no drawers, leaky sink / tap onto the only surface to put things in the bathroom, filthy mirror..... the walls are thin & floor was so noisy even creeping around we felt guilty for disturbing the people downstairs. 
There’s a coke machine in the bottom stairwell that sounds like a jet engine! 
After disturbing the staff looking for milk for a well overdue cuppa on arrival we were told there was some ‘made up’ in jugs in the communal kitchen downstairs.
Our room was generally clean but in the morning the common areas smelt like an old retirement home; yes I’ve been in plenty! 
The location for Mission Estate was handy & one staff member was helpful in the morning but for us that’s where the positives finished. 
We’d definitely not stay again.

Not what was expected 

Our stay met our requirements and the service and instructions left for us  due to our late arrival, were excellent. The place was clean, although musty on artival. We gave the room a good air as it was a warm night so were able to do so.

Good Service

My partner and I had to impromptu book accomodation last minute, so we booked the Parkside Lodge and arrived within 25 minutes. We felt a bit terrible as it was nearing the closing time of reception, but we were greeted with warm smiles and kindness. The friendliness of this establishment contributes to a homely stay as she walked us to our room and showed us the amenities. I adored the touches of bird-like decorations, the use of NZ products, and small things like the cotton rounds in the bathroom, coasters, hot cocoa, and a hair dryer. There was also an informational booklet about everything nearby from food, shopping, to transportation. According to previous reviews, this establishment was a private hospital rendered into a lodge, so you will notice less sound proofing between walls/doors. Seeing as how this was a budget motel, we couldn't really complain as the positives far outweighed the negatives. The room was meticulously clean, a communal kitchen was available for use as well as communal living space and laundry area. All of the staff was warm and welcoming, especially upon check in. I would stay here again for the sheer fact that the people were darling & the rooms had nice touches. 

Darling staff, lovely amenities

The host was nice ,The property was clean  and there was plenty of parking and the bed was fine , butt the room was to meet a small number of our population  and this room was well below our expectation , the bathroom was not for us and there was noise long after you would expect

Backpacker standard

This place had great reviews but the pictures on line did not show the full story.  They do not show the corridors with the rooms with hospital doors coming off them. The place was a private hospital or nursing home before it was turned into a lodge.  The rooms have private on-suite bathrooms and a small bedroom.  It feels like being in an old people's home sadly and does not feel like a motel.

We stayed for 3 nights as it was too hard to get our money back through Wotif.  The managers are friendly and the place is clean and warm - as long as your in room aircon is working.  Once we mentioned the problem we had on the first night with the aircon not working they fixed the aircon so we were warmer for the rest of our stay. The shower floods the wet floor completely if you don't follow the instructions and face the head to the wall. 

We were only there to sleep so it was adequate but I wouldn't choose to return as it felt a little weird.

Friendly, clean, comfortable but odd

An amazing little place with a lot of charm. Lots of lovely little things done for their guests. We arrived after reception had closed but they provided a great little information pack to see us over until the morning. When we arrived our room was nice and warm as they had set the Air Con to keep the room warm which is greatly appreciated after a long drive.

A great little place

What it needs for staying over one or two nights? A clean room, beds, shower, friendly people and some of the service. All that you get at Parkside Lodge.
We stayed there for one night and found a small but very smart Motel. The room size was ample and it was clean. You find an extern kitchen with fridge, microwave and can use the area for breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpfully. We had some trouble with the WiFi code and Toni, the owner allowed to use the manager code. The bathroom was clean too, only it needs some attention to use because it could be, that you get in few minutes flooded the ground of your rooms.
If we come back to Napier one day, we will stay by Toni again.

good place for stay over

This place has real charm and has been thoughtfully decorated in keeping with a historical theme. Room was compact and  clean and staff were friendly. We had a courtyard room which was charming. Also very close to Anderson Park which is huge and a lovely place for exploring, cycling and for kids to play.
